Hide Your Important Files In Your Computer, The Simplest Way in Windows

When your computer is used by many persons, for example, in Home or Office, your Personal files are open for any one to see. You can just use a simple method in Windows to hide your file, for not allowing easy access to others. Although many File Locker Programs are available in the market , with Password Protection. This is a basic method, that, many people forgot to use, & it can save your files from easy acess for others. "Hide Your Important Files, In Your Computer, The Simplest Method".
To hide a file or Folder, right click that file, this will open a box, left click on "properties",in that box, this will open another window with, General, Security, View, Version Tabs.


Select, General, & check the Box Hidden , then click Apply (don't forget to click apply, otherwise changes will not take place).
Again I am summarizing the process: Right click the file to Hide--> Left Click Properties--> select General--> Check the Hidden Box--> Click Apply.
NOW YOU ARE DONE. YOUR FILE IS "HIDDEN NOW"




NOW HOW TO SEE YOUR FILES AGAIN:
Open Your Document Destination, 'My Document'. Select Organize-->select Folder options.




In the Folder option Select View---> click the option Show Hidden files----> That's all. DONE

Again do not forget to click APPLY changes , if you are UNHIDING the File.

By this way you can easily hide & unhide your files in common computers, although this is not a 100% safe method, albeit it provides a moderate protection, because generally no one goes to see hidden files by this method, until unless some one is behind your files..:-)
